A Community SHIELD Holder

East Meadow High School senior Matt Pienkowski was recognized this summer as a recipient of the Nassau County District Attorney’s SHIELD Award.

Matt joined his peers from across Nassau County to meet District Attorney Madeline Singas in July as she commended students who made positive contributions to their respective communities. The SHIELD award stands for service, honesty, integrity, excellence, leadership and duty and is presented to individuals who show outstanding strength of character, commitment to self-growth and the spirit and initiative to bring about a positive change in their community.

“Our youth are our future and it is my pleasure to honor them,” said District Attorney Singas.
